Jon Stewart, Keith Starmer, Blah Blah Blah

The leader of the Labour Party in Great Britian, Kieth Starmer, just made this bold, innovative, proposal at the recent Party Conference: "build a strong economy". No longer will they be following utopian Leftist dreamers like Jeremy Corbyn, uh uh, now it is capitalism with a human face, the crazy new...wait for it...social democracy! Strong growth, lots of jobs and a caring welfare state,Or, neoliberalism Light. Tony Blair with lipstick. Geez, why didn't I think of that? History doesn't repeat itself but it is certainly enamored with certain themes. Such as banality. Cowardice. Stupidity. Maybe Obama will run in 2024? And following our GroundHog Day Theme, Jon Stewart, America's favorite uber-liberal, is getting a new show. Expect banality, cowardice and stupidity. Mixed with a plea for "sanity" and simplistic, well worn, trite analysis around political economy.And lots of "caring". Both of these are perfect examples of what Greta Thunberg is calling "blah, blah, blah." She is now seeing the terrifying reality of The Spectacle, of the Upside Down World.
